Dirty Little Secrets cover but with Aiden and Evie, drawing by me

Attatching on the DLS soundtracks to this piece for the sake of mood and because they suit Aiden so well.

I *should* be redrawing this cover with my m!MC Dick and f!LI Peg. But then I thought of doing it with Aiden and Evie, and I couldn't help myself.

Submitting for @aidenzhouappreciationweek, for the Day 3 Prompt Romance Relationships and the Day 5 Prompt Cunty Aiden and the Day 6 Prompt Crossover and the Day 7 Prompt Pride!

Tagging: @choicesficwriterscreations, @lover-also-fighter-also

The sixth day of the first ever Aiden Zhou Appreciation Week begins tomorrow!!!!

For Day 6, we’ve got two (somewhat similar) prompt choices! This time, they’re a little more meta.

The AU prompt is pretty straightforward. Is there a part of the canon for Aiden that you would have happen differently? Or maybe you want to explore a “What if” scenario for Aiden. Or maybe you want to imagine him in an entirely different setting or situation?

The Crossover prompt is also very straightforward and can somewhat blend with the AU prompt. This can be a crossover with other Choices stories, or it can be with non-Pixelberry media. Maybe you want him trying on the outfit of a character from a different media. Or maybe you want to see him interact with other characters from a different media. Or maybe you want to imagine how he’d fare in the storylines/situations of other media. It’s up to you!

Don’t forget to read the guidelines before submitting! Otherwise, have fun!

Feel free to suggest your own possible prompt ideas for future years’ events, btw!

See below for the submission guidelines and (eventually) previous years' masterlists!

General Guidelines for Submission:

We’ll reblog pretty much any posts that are Aiden-centric and Aiden-appreciative/positive, whether or not it’s made for this event. But if you want your post to be considered a submission and listed on the masterlist, you must A) mention this blog and B) specify which prompt or prompts you’re submitting for.

The tags #AidenZhouAppreciationWeek, #AZAW, #AZAW2024, are highly recommended, but not necessary.

If your post is very long in length (eg. if it’s a long fic, has images that take up a lot of length), we highly recommend putting a “Read More” button in your post.

Any submissions that lean into NSFW or suggestive territory, and/or feature sensitive topics should be tagged accordingly.

You don’t have to create for each prompt or each day. Create for as many prompts and days as you like.

You don’t have to create for a prompt on its respective assigned day. Eg. You can create for a Day 1 prompt on Day 4.

You don’t have to create only one piece per prompt. If you have multiple pieces you want to create for a certain prompt, then by all means, go for it.

You don’t have to use only a specific day’s prompts together Eg. You can have a piece that uses a Day 1 prompt and a Day 4 prompt together.

We will still accept submissions even after the event dates have passed. You will have until the next year’s August 1 to submit posts/creations for the current prompts! Eg. For the AZAW 2024 prompts, you will be able to submit for them until August 1, 2025.

What IS welcome:

Any medium of human creation. Art, fanfic, poetry, edits, animation, picrews/meikers* moodboards/stimboards/gifboards, icons, memes/shitposts, gifs, AMVs, playlists, headcanons, character recreation in another game (eg. The Sims), etc!

Meta posts. Eg. screenshots of favorite scenes/moments from the Choices game itself, essay/analytical writing, even just simply gushing/rambling over Aiden nonstop!

Pieces or posts that you made prior to this event and/or initially not for this event, but you've decided you want to submit them!

WIP/unfinished pieces.

Submissions can be works that you have made yourself, or works that you have commissioned from someone else.

*If you’re submitting a picrew or meiker piece or anything similar, please link to the template in your post!

What is NOT welcome:

Bigotry of any kind. Posts of a nature that is sexist, racist (especially Sinophobic), queerphobic, ableist, xenophobic, etc. are obviously not allowed.

AI-generated material of any kind. This includes images or writing made by genAI, ChatGPT/character.AI screenshots, etc. Feel free to let us know if we accidentally promote AI generated material. We support human creators here!

Just don’t be a dick, tbh.
